I installed Manjaro alongside Ubuntu and now it boots straight into Manjaro without the option of loading Ubuntu. How can I fix this? I'm not wanting to reinstall the grub.

  • This is about Manjaro, not Ubuntu. – mikewhatever Jul 20 '17 at 16:24

    Please run the [Boot Repair utility](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair) and select the "Create BootInfo Summary" option. (*DO NOT* click "Recommended Repair," at least not yet!) When asked whether to upload the report, click "Yes," and then post the URL provided here. This will give us more details about your configuration, which is required to base an answer on more than guesswork. – Rod Smith Jul 20 '17 at 16:34

    @mikewhatever, I disagree; it's about a dual-boot scenario that involves both OSes. I see questions like this all the time with "Windows" in place of "Manjaro," and nobody bats an eye about their acceptability on this site. – Rod Smith Jul 20 '17 at 16:36

  • GRUB actually didn't need repairing or reinstalling. The menu just wasn't coming up, so config needed editing – Zanna Aug 09 '17 at 11:56

Thanks to two of you. I found that if I hold c during startup the menu will appear. There's an edit to the grub file to make it happen automatically.

For permanent change edit:

/etc/default/grub

place a # symbol at the start of line GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0.

Save changes and run:

sudo update-grub
